Wow, that Ch53 is huge, didn't appreciate it size, thought they were joking when they said the crew wanted to check the site for space! and to think, a few of us had to turn ourselves away from a small landing helicopter because he picked a decidedly dry bit of grass/sand and threw sand all over the camera and its enclosure.

I have to agree with you there mic, that german airforce livery was rather nice, makes a change from drab military colours. And the crew were nice and friendly too...

You seem to be at every airshow Mic.  ;D
It looks like the only proper show I'll see this year now is Southport.

To be fair this is a short bus ride away from me, and isn't exactly an airshow....more of a fly-in.....in which not a lot flys in :P

That Sea King is quite busy... he's at Culdrose next Wednesday. Was a German Lynx there too?
